The signalbox stands just west of Ancaster station, which (in turn) lies to the west of High Dike (Ermine Street). The line is the old Great Northern's line from Grantham to Sleaford (and beyond), and the little signalbox still carries under its eaves the fancy barge-boards that were characteristic of GNR boxes. Alan Murray-Rust's contribution shows the box from the south http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4253520 while Richard Croft's shows the view from the station: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4412344
